It is exhausting. It’s amazing that he slept 10-11 hours! What a gift. My daughter wakes every 2-3 hours as well. This has been the usual. Lately, it’s felt like more wakings. It hurts flinging my body out of bed. Last night I slept on a foldable guest mattress next to her crib. She’s teething & the only thing to get her back down is breastfeeding. I coslept with my oldest child from birth till I gave birth to my 2nd. I know cosleeping isn’t ideal, but it’s the only solution to get somewhat decent rest nowadays. I would cosleep with her in my bed, but my husband wakes early for work & due to the nature of his job it wouldn’t be safe for him to have disrupted sleep.
My little one started having sleep changes and I realized it’s teething. He has 2 teeth already but these two top teeth coming in are making him miserable, fussy, clingy, and fighting rest / nursing. Giving him camilia teething drops and Motrin when he’s inconsolable has helped tremendously. I’m not sure if you’ve already checked this box but it might help to check their little gums
This is me. Ever since my LO turned 8 months, naps been decreased by 1/2 and even cut short to 30mins vs 2hrs I was use too, she’s waking up in middle of night and we’re dealing with sleep regression as well 😩, I heard it occurs from somewhere 8-10months as LO growing on top of teething too & being clingy…… 🤦🏽♀️ all I can say since I know this phase shall too pass
Going through the same exact thing right now! Just out of no where🤦🏽♀️ from what I read it is a 7 month sleep regression. I do hope it’s done soon I had a good napper as well. I’m sleep deprived and burnt out seems like as soon as we get break the next challenge comes 😅
